STOP DATABASE(HHHHH) SPACE(*) RETRY(N)

We would like to have an option to set how much times STOP DB command will retry in order to avoid continues locks on DSNDB06 .SYSTSTSS while trying to STOP DB and update its RTS.

Operation in TSO, z/OS, and batch: When the STOP DATABASE command is issued from a TSO or a z/OS console, the command operates asynchronously to keep the terminal free. When the command is issued from a batch job, it operates synchronously in case later steps depend on the database being stopped. The STOP DATABASE command drains work in progress on the database before stopping it. If it cannot get the drain locks on the first request, it repeatedly tries again. The command fails if it times out more than 15 times trying to get the locks or if a serious deadlock situation occurs.

    Thank you for submitting this enhancement request. While we view all the enhancement requests we receive as valuable and we would like to implement all of them, in an effort to have maximum transparency we are closing the ones that don’t currently appear on our two year product roadmap. This is not to say that these enhancements may not still be implemented at some point in the future as we do evaluate our requirements on the basis of customer demand and technical impact, to deliver maximum value to our customers.


    We appreciate your input to the Db2 for z/OS development team.  And we hope that you will continue to enhancement suggestions for improvements as customer feedback is a key component to shaping the future direction of Db2 for z/OS. 


    Sincerely,

    The Db2 for z/OS Team
